John Rushforth

@Porsalin @RobertJenrick Nothing says “serious political analysis” like shouting buzzwords and wishing death on an entire generation. Truly the peak of intellectual discourse. Have you considered logging off for five minutes, or would that count as cultural surrender?

@JohnRushforth1 @RobertJenrick Another demented shitlib boomer insulated from the reality of integration failure, demographic replacement and cultural conquest. I cannot wait for your generation to die off. You have been a plague on this country.

Five years ago today, a teacher from Batley Grammar showed a class a caricature of the Prophet Mohammed. Within days, a hundred Islamists were protesting outside the school gates. Outrageously, the teacher was suspended. The headteacher, Gary Kibble, apologised ‘unequivocally’. It was an astonishing act of appeasement and cowardice. The teacher was then subjected to a campaign of abuse and intimidation, including incitement to violence against him and his family. His kids had to miss school for months. They slept on mattresses in temporary accommodation. An independent probe later cleared him of any wrongdoing whatsoever. Another report likewise found that the school, council and police all ‘totally and utterly failed’ him. Too late - his life was changed forever. Have lessons been learnt from this shameful episode? I fear exactly the same thing would happen today. In fact ‘advice’ has recently been reissued by Labour councils including the one covering Batley, that children’s drawings in art lessons may be seen as ‘idolatrous’ under sharia law. Teachers are even warned that dance lessons could cause parental concerns over ‘physical contact between males and females’. Extremism is being mainstreamed. A climate of threatening and intimidatory harassment is poisoning our institutions. It's antithetical to our democratic way of life. Most of our governing class are simply too spineless to take on Islamists. Look at when I highlighted the chronic failure of integration in parts of Birmingham. I was denounced. And then proven right by West Midlands Police’s admission that violent Islamists living couldn’t be prevented from attacking Jewish football fans. The Police lied and blamed the visiting supporters in an effort to pretend they still had authority in the city. And now look at the reaction of the Prime Minister and much of the media to criticisms of a segregated Iftar in Trafalgar Square. They branded critics racist too. This was despite the Prime Minister himself pulling out of an Iftar in 2021 organised by the very same man, Omar Salha, who arranged this one, apparently because of his Islamist links. We’ve been led by weak hypocrites, who cover up, rather than confront what’s happening. The country is sliding down a dark path as a result. But innocent men and women like the Batley teacher are the greatest victims of extremism, and too many seem intent to forget them. We must defend them and stand up for all those who speak out.

@space_stations @RobertJenrick Well, considering the quality of your current leader, I ain't taking no lectures from you sunshine.

@JohnRushforth1 @RobertJenrick That is absolutely a surrender and we wouldn't allow it in the US.

@toontoon999 @RobertJenrick Do you think everybody of a certain religion thinks the same? There is one thing for sure: all right-wing clowns like you think the same, you are all xenophobic racists and Islamophobic. On that note, goodbye.

@JohnRushforth1 @RobertJenrick How many of them have taken to the streets to complain about the treatment of the Batley grammar teacher ? How many, khan, nazir ali, Mothin Ali, etc have used their platform to campaign for him ? Not fucking one of them so I’ll assume they all think the same till they do.

@toontoon999 @RobertJenrick Blame 2 billion people as a single hive mind, that’s always the mark of a serious argument 🙄 Maybe instead of lazy generalisations, try evidence. Because stereotyping an entire religion says more about you than it does about them.

@JohnRushforth1 @RobertJenrick The institutions don’t have the backbone because the typical “moderate” Muslim supports the treatment the teacher has received.

@UnionMac1 @RobertJenrick Which "other" people do you mean - or are you advocating vigilantes?

@JohnRushforth1 @RobertJenrick No, you said what the various institutions should be doing, when you know without doubt that they won't. It's not sweeping generalisations or panic to suggest that other people need to stand up for what is right.

@UnionMac1 @RobertJenrick err do it - I gave the solution, I am not responsible for it, are you?

@JohnRushforth1 @RobertJenrick And are they doing that? No. So what do you suggest?

@HattieSW6grid @RupertLowe10 Why, because they are an asylum seeker, or is it their skin colour or religion?

@JohnRushforth1 @RupertLowe10 Even if they were I wouldn’t let them near me! Grrr

I do not want these men in our country.

@HattieSW6grid @RupertLowe10 You might if they were a doctor.

@RupertLowe10 Who does? And why?

@reformparty_uk Errrr How? Perhaps shouting slogans at them.

Under a Reform UK government, British people will be prioritised over illegal migrants. ✅

@GBNEWS Does Jenrick get angry at Hare Krishna groups praying and singing in high streets?

'This was essentially an anti-British event.' Reform UK's Treasury Spokesperson Robert Jenrick MP says he 'strongly agrees' that the mass prayer that took part Trafalgar Square for Eid was an 'act of domination'.

@theswearygolfer @LeeAndersonMP_ Care to define how an island can be Christian?

@JohnRushforth1 @LeeAndersonMP_ Okay, your post has been up for 15 minutes and you haven’t deleted it. Why would hundreds of people, Christian people, gather in the Christian town of Canterbury, in the Christian Island of Great Britain?

Mass Prayer. An act of peace or provocation? You decide.

@sid_rambling @YZALMS @LeeAndersonMP_ No, you asked me to tell you about another religion that has acted like the guy you posted. Admit it, you are wrong !!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 History started yesterday, so your post is history 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@JohnRushforth1 @YZALMS @LeeAndersonMP_ We're not talking about history, we're talking about 2026. Islam is not just a religion, it is a political ideology.

@sid_rambling @YZALMS @LeeAndersonMP_ That kind of rhetoric isn’t unique to Islam. History shows similar attitudes in Christianity, like the Spanish Inquisition, where people were forced to convert or face punishment. The issue isn’t the religion itself, but extremism in any tradition.

@JohnRushforth1 @YZALMS @LeeAndersonMP_ This is not the sign of an advanced religion. Find me an equivalent in any other religion. x.com/realMaalouf/st…

@sid_rambling @YZALMS @LeeAndersonMP_ The idea that Christianity “advanced” via the Enlightenment while Islam is “stuck in the 7th century” is a myth. The Enlightenment often challenged church authority, and the Islamic world has a long history of science, philosophy, and debate. Reality is more complex than slogans.

@YZALMS @JohnRushforth1 @LeeAndersonMP_ Unlike Islam, Christianity went through a period of Enlightenment. Islam is still stuck in the 7th century. britannica.com/event/Enlighte…

@GBNEWS Nigel Farage, longtime champion of Chagossians everywhere 🙄 Amazing how he only seems to become their “closest ally” when there’s a headline in it. What a coincidence.

Nigel Farage hailed as Chagossians' closest ally while islanders demand Keir Starmer's resignation gbnews.com/politics/nigel…

@PaulD267058 @RobertJenrick This isn’t right, though. Gas isn’t as rigid as oil, but UK prices are still heavily linked to international benchmarks and supply/demand, especially via European hubs. That’s exactly why prices spiked across all suppliers in 2022, not just imports.

@JohnRushforth1 @RobertJenrick I didn't ignore anything - you're the one not providing any details or nuance in your posts. The pertinent point is that the 'international markets' trope is misleading as gas buying is not as rigid, price-wise as oil.

Britain has paid Norway over £100 billion for gas since 2021. For gas they’re drilling in the North Sea, the same sea Ed Miliband has banned new drilling in on the British side. Madness.

@PaulD267058 @RobertJenrick The classic “you don’t understand markets” while confidently ignoring that UK gas prices still track international benchmarks 🙄 But sure, it’s not global markets, it’s just a conspiracy of “lefty zealots.” Much more plausible.

@JohnRushforth1 @RobertJenrick You haven't provided any nuance yourself, John. Gas is bought in regional markets and is more flexible price-wise than oil. Too many lefty, renewable energy zealots like yourself are just spouting the 'global market' line without thinking about it.

@RupertLowe10 Could we do the same for failing MP's

The failing civil service must be personally held to account.
